Albuquerque police say three children were killed and their mother is in critical condition after a gunman shot them when they arrived home Monday night.
Police said Tuesday that 45-year-old George Daniel Wechsler shot the family after he broke into their Albuquerque home and waited for them.
While he did not release any names, Police Chief Gordon Eden said the victims included a 5-year-old boy, a 6-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy.
Eden said the gunman was taken to the hospital with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and later died. Authorities believe the man had a short relationship with the mother, who was listed in critical condition.
Mayor Richard Berry described the incident as unimaginable and heartbreaking.
The mayor called for the city to come together as investigators try to determine what happened.
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez says she was "heartbroken over this horrible and senseless act of violence."
